@ Hall of Famer:

I've been busy over the last week and I'm leaving for a 1 week vacation Friday so I won't be able to help for another week to a week in a half.

I see. So can someone please tell me how to implement the Surf and bike background music even without having to upgrade the starterkit? More specifically, what script section do I have to edit and what're the codes?

[shinylugia249]

Can someone tell me how to play an animation while it hails in-battle. I already have the animation i just need it to play in battle.

[sonic smash down]

like wat kind sl. an attack animation? if its an attack one. wat you do is set it in the database. and im pretty sure the pbs has something with the attacks that tell you their animation or something.

[shinylugia249]

Yeah it's set up like an animation in the database. I just want it to play whenever it hails
in-battle (that's not a move it's an in-battle weather change).

ummm...unless you're planning on going through and changing/adding alot of ruby script, i don't see a way around it. imo, the easiest way to upgrade to is to go to the data folder in the newest starter kit. select and copy the EditorScripts and Scripts files and paste them in your data project folder. before doing this though, if you have made any changes to any of the scripts what so ever, make sure you save those changes within a text file or something of the sort. personally, i paste all my changes in a text file with which script the change is within and what line. alot simpler and faster than what's described in the notes.html.

Is there anyway to make the smallest screen size to the default please help.

[shinylugia249]

To make the small screen default go into the option and change it to the small screen size and them save.

[Darksun]

Solved.

New question: How do I animate the title screen?

[Lorem Ipsum]

Darksun, the error is because there are no Pokémon in your party. To add a Pokémon, use the statement:

pbAddPokemon(PokemonNumber,PokemonLevel)

Replace PokemonNumber and PokemonLevel accordingly.

[Darksun]

Yeah, but it happend in the player's house, and the floor is no terrain tag. Wierd.

Edit: Solved, I took a map from another project and the map I deleted when
I took the other map to this project, had encounter pokèmon on it. Or something like that.
Omg, it's hard to explain in english. xD

[Hall Of Famer]

Can someone please tell me how to implement background music for Surfing and Bicycle event without having to upgrade the starterkit? More specifically, which script sections should I edit and how can I do that?

[shinylugia249]

Just download the new version of the starter kit and copy the scripts from the data floder into the data folder of your game. You might have to edit some scripts again because of the in-battle text color you have in your game though.

Hmm.. Another problem.

I made a Pokemon battle with the new "TEAM ROCKET". The text worked out okay...

And then, it says this: Can't find battle 1(of 5) for the trainer(TEAMROCKET, Grunt) in Trainer data file. So it said I could edit the pokemon there, and I did that. Then it suddenly says...



...and I said "no". Then it went on changing it to 3(of 5) and 4 (of 5)... I wonder how I can disable that.

Here's my script, in case there's something wrong with it...

Can someone PLEASE answer my question?

[Darksun]

Solved.
I'm always asking before I'm trying things. o.O

New Question: How do I animate the title screen?
Thanks.

Also Known as Pokedude:

The presence of multiple "Battle" comments implies that more than one battle exists, which may not be your intent. Instead, use "\m" to separate each message, like this:

@>Comment: Battle: Hey, punk!  Give me all you've got! You ain't
 :       : worth it!\mHey, punk!  Give me all you've got! You ain't
 :       : worth it!\mHey, punk!  Give me all you've got! You ain't
 :       : worth it!\mHey, punk!  Give me all you've got! You ain't
 :       : worth it!

you can download poccil's starter kit right here. it uses rpg maker xp, so if you don't have the program, you can't use it.

this is because the female trainer back isn't set. if you look within the Pictures folder, you will find the file called trback000. the "000" means what trainer id it is. for example, if you wanted to do rich boy trainer back, you'd put as the filename trback014. in the case of the female trainer, which is defaulted as 1 in poccil's kit, the filename would be trback001. now to create this trainer back, you would need to find the female sprites or create your own. the file consists of four 128x128 frames. the resulting file should be 512x128, preferably .png format. that should explain just about everything on trainer backs. good luck!

i DID answer your question:

get rid of 4 of the "comment: battle:"s, so that there is only 1.
get rid of the "comment: regspeech"
get rid of the "script:kernel.pnTrainerCheck"
and lastly, get rid of the "script: pbPhoneRegisterBattle".
and there, all fixed. :D

i was wandering about in the PokeBattle_Battle script when i came upon this. i believe that this should answer your question. in the PokeBattle_Battle script lines 731 to 739 are the battle weather text. i believe if you stuck in @battle.pbCommonAnimation("Hail",self,nil) or @battle.pbCommonAnimation("Hail",nil,nil) before the hail weather text, it should play the animation during battle. now i haven't tested this yet, but i do believe this should work. just remember to name the animation within your database "Common:Hail" or it probably won't work.

I found it, it's line 699. I did what you said but i got this error:



Can anyone help?

[Wichu]

Try getting rid of the @battle.
It should then begin like this:

pbCommonAnimation(...

Hope this helps!

I've been updating to the latest version (one came out yesterday, if you don't know yet). I haven't updated for about 2 months, so it's going to take a while...
